NSF and NIH are probably the most motivated funding agencies when it
comes to promoting open data, but it's hard not to regard their open
data policies and encouragement for the scientific community to
normalize open science practices as at least a little disingenuous,
since they could change the norm overnight by simply tying the policy
to the award and requiring open data as a deliverable.  Any excuse not
to do so at this point is just an excuse.
